Title: Numerical simulation and economic evaluation of hybrid solvent processes
Inventor: FRAUENFELD THEODORE
IPC: E21B49/00
Filed: 2009-03-26
Abstract: Solvent-based processes for recovery of heavy oil and bitumen have potential application to a variety of reservoir situations. Potential processes range from SAGD to VAPEX, with a range of hybrid processes in between. Over 50 lab-scale and 80 field scale simulations were run to determine optimum operating points for various hybrid processes. The results showed that steam-butane simulations yielded two "sweet spots" where the cost objective function was lower than that for SAGD. Economic analysis was done based on a set of field scale simulations. This analysis showed that a hybrid solvent process for an Athabasca reservoir was an alternative to SAGD. The analysis may be extended to other reservoir types as needed.

Title: Methods and apparatus for transmitting a frame structure in a wireless communication system
Inventor: WANG MICHAEL MAO
IPC: H04L27/26
Filed: 2007-09-27
Abstract: Method and apparatus for transmitting a wireless communication signal frame, such as an OFDM superframe. In particular, the disclosed methods and apparatus transmit a first pilot symbol in the signal frame where the symbol serves to communicate coarse timing information to a receiver. A second pilot symbol is subsequently transmitted to communicate information including network identification information concerning a wide-area network. Next, overhead information (OIS) concerning the wide-area network is then transmitted and then a third pilot symbol is transmitted to communicate information including network identification information concerning a local-area network to a receiver. By transmitting the third pilot symbol concerning the local-area network after the wide-area OIS, a receiver is allowed to acquire wide-area network timing and information and then subsequently acquire more updated local-area network timing and information and more efficiently utilize processing resources.
